Inactivation of GalU Leads to a Cell Wall-Associated Polysaccharide Defect That Reduces the Susceptibility of Enterococcus faecalis to Bacteriolytic Agents

Cell wall-associated polysaccharides of bacteria are involved in various physiological characteristics. Recent studies demonstrated that the cell wall-associated polysaccharide of Enterococcus faecalis is required for susceptibility to bactericidal antibiotic agents.
